| 1 | Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NFB): A Key Factor involved in Hypoxia-induced Chemoresistance and Stemness of Breast Cancer Cells by Tawari E. P. & Baulch E. K. | Hypoxia induced nuclear factor kappa B (NFB) promotes signalling pathways involved in the inflammatory response through the regulation of gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, enzymes, and pro-inflammatory enzymes. NFB, a family of transcription factors is one of the many transcription factors activated during hypoxia to ensure the survival of cells during hypoxic insults. It is widely overexpressed in many cancers such as pancreatic cancers, breast cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer, and its antiapoptotic properties inhibits apoptosis enabling the survival of hypoxic insult in cancer cells. Hypoxia induced NFB activation is also believed to contribute to the maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) during the development and progression of tumors, this study was performed to evaluate the response of these overexpressing NFBp65 to anticancer drugs and to determine if it affects invasion and migration in cancer cell lines.More.. | 23-Mar-2020 | 07-May-2020/ 16-May-2020 |

| 6 | Unit Cost Calculation with Activity Based Costing Method for Inpatient Rates (Case study at Rumah Sakit Umum Bungsu) by Krystele Angelin & Asep Darmansyah | Rumah Sakit Umum Bungsu (RSU Bungsu) determines inpatient service rates based on the traditional costing system (TCSs). This costing causes losses because it did not match the market price which is over costing or under costing. Therefore, to be able to survive and thrive, RSU Bungsu needs ABC method that could carefully measure the accurate rates for inpatient unit service. Data obtained by conducting an interview with the management of RSU Bungsu and from Financial Report (2017-2019) of RSU Bungsu. The findings have shown that rates set by Bungsu Public Hospital in 2017 were over costing for VIP rooms and under costing for Class I, Class II, and Class III. Rates set by the Bungsu Public Hospital in 2018 were over costing for VIP rooms and under costing for Class I, Class II, and Class III. Rates set by the Bungsu Public Hospital in 2019 were over costing for VIP and Class I rooms, as well as under costing for Class II and Class III. We concluded that the ABC method provides more accurate calculation results because in the ABC system overhead costs of each product charged to many cost drivers. Therefore ABC system can allocate activity costs to each room appropriately based on the consumption of each activity. | 16-May-2020 | 28-May-2020/ 31-May-2020 |
